Need some input since I'm still looking into pmb for long term investment. 1. Silicon price averaged usd 2200/mt. Assuming 4.2 exchange rate its approx RM 9240/mt. 2. RM 9240 x 36000mt (current max capacity) = RM 332,640,000 annually. Quarterly basis the revenue is approx RM 83mil. Assuming good scenario PAT 10% = RM 8mil. 3. 2nd Plant double up max annual capacity to 72000mt. Quarterly PAT is RM 16mil excluding other trades and business. Annually its RM 64mil. EPS approx 30cent purely from silicon. 4. At current price of RM 5.55, the forward annualised PE is 18. 5. 5. I'm not accountant or economist hence I wonder if these figures are realistic and sustainable to justify the current high price?
******U.S. bans imports of solar panel material from Chinese company Michael MartinaKaren FreifeldDavid Shepardson
June 23 (Reuters) - The Biden administration on Wednesday ordered a ban on U.S. imports of a key solar panel material from Chinese-based Hoshine Silicon Industry Co (603260.SS) over forced labor allegations, two sources briefed on the matter said.
The U.S. Commerce Department separately restricted exports to Hoshine, three other Chinese companies and the paramilitary Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC), saying they were involved with the forced labor of Uyghurs and other Muslim minority groups in Xinjiang.
Reacting on Thursday, China's foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said China will take "all necessary measures" to protect its companies' rights and interests. Beijing has dismissed accusations of genocide and forced labor in Xinjiang as lies.
The three other companies added to the U.S. economic blacklist include Xinjiang Daqo New Energy Co, a unit of Daqo New Energy Corp (DQ.N); Xinjiang East Hope Nonferrous Metals Co, a subsidiary of Shanghai-based manufacturing giant East Hope Group; and Xinjiang GCL New Energy Material Co, part of GCL New Energy Holdings Ltd (0451.HK).
The Commerce Department said the companies and a paramilitary force, XPCC, "have been implicated in human rights violations and abuses in the implementation of China’s campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention, forced labor and high-technology surveillance against Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other members of Muslim minority groups in" Xinjiang.
At least some of the companies listed by the Commerce Department are major manufacturers of monocrystalline silicon and polysilicon that are used in solar panel production.
Hoshine Silicon Industry said on an interactive investor platform that it backed the Chinese foreign ministry's reaction, adding that the firm does not export industrial silicon to the United States directly and the impact on its business would be limited.
Xinjiang Daqo New Energy Co responded Reuters' request for comment with an email saying the company has "zero tolerance" towards forced labour, and that it does not sell directly to U.S. companies, or purchase from the United States and there would not be "a significant impact on the company’s business."
The other companies or their parent firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment, or could not immediately be reached. XPCC could not immediately be reached for comment.
The "Withhold Release Order" by U.S. Customs and Border Protection only blocks imports of the material from Hoshine. A source familiar with the order said it does not impact the majority of U.S. imports of polysilicon and other silica-based products.

Dennis Ip, Regional Head of Power, Utilities, Renewables & Environment (PURE) Research at Daiwa said in a note to clients the immediate effect of the restrictions would be limited as the companies named do not have "vast contracts" with U.S. based wafer companies, but foresaw more action to come.
"However, we see possibility for the ban to gradually extend to include restrictions on all solar modules which contain Xinjiang-produced polysilicon," he said.
Chinese module producers could still use polysilicon from Inner Mongolia and Yunnan for their U.S.-bound module shipments, he added.
About 45% of all polysilicon used in solar module production is produced in Xinjiang, with 35% produced in other parts of China. The remainder comes from outside China.
The global solar energy supply chain has been squeezed by record high costs for polysilicon, labour and freight. read more
A second source said the move does not conflict with President Joe Biden's climate goals and support for the domestic solar industry.
The sources said the United States is continuing to investigate allegations of forced labor by Chinese companies who supply polysilicon.
The two sources familiar with the policy said the White House sees the actions as a "natural continuation" of the G7 agreement earlier this month to eliminate forced labor from supply chains.

PMB Technology 2Q net profit soars more than eight-fold y-o-y, lifted by better contributions across business segments
KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 23): PMB Technology Bhd saw its net profit soar more than eight times to RM11.58 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 (2QFY21) from RM1.37 million a year ago, aided by improved contributions by its manufacturing & trading and construction & fabrication segments.
Earnings per share ballooned to 5.62 sen in 2QFY21, compared with 0.67 sen in 2QFY20, said the aluminium manufacturer and distributor in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.
Revenue for the quarter also swelled more than two times to RM178.25 million year-on-year (y-o-y) from RM84.87 million.
The revenue from the manufacturing & trading segment increased by 179% to RM119.5 million versus RM42.8 million a year ago, mainly due to higher sales from the metallic silicon plant during the current quarter under review.
Meanwhile, revenue from the construction & fabrication segment increased by 40% to RM58.7 million compared with RM42 million a year before, largely because the progress of certain ongoing projects was sped up.
The stellar results lifted PMB Technology's cumulative net profit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 (1HFY21) up 396.35% to RM18.21 million from RM3.67 million in 1HFY20. Cumulative revenue also increased by 30.55% to RM340.08 million for 1HFY21 compared with RM260.49 million a year earlier.
On prospects, the group warned that its operating costs have increased, despite having benefitted from the upward trend of metallic silicon prices. Hence, it will continue to focus on production efficiency and to undertake appropriate austerity measures.
Shares of PMB Technology closed up five sen or 0.88% at RM5.70, giving it a market capitalisation of RM1.22 billion. Over the past one year, the stock has rallied 127% from RM2.51.
制造硅金属业务是由全资子公司, PMB Silicon Sdn Bhd 负责。生产基地位于Sarawak 的Samalaju Industrial Park,拥有长期充裕的水力发电供给,且公司已经和Sarawak州政府签署长期电力购买合约,锁定极具竞争优势的发电成本,奠定公司往后成为全球领先的优质硅金属制造商。目前已使用的水力发电厂包括Batang (108MW), Bakun (2400MW), 和Murum (944MW), 而Baleh (1285MW)目前处于建设期间,预计在2025年投入运作,投入电量将达到3452MW。在2019年公司第一期的硅金属年产量达36,000公吨,而第二期也在2020年年底投入运作,年产量将增加额外36,000公吨,总产量达72,000公吨。
Ladder, Scaffold Tower, Aerial Working Platform Equipment
除了制造硅金属,公司也涉及建造存取设备 (access equipment), 包括旗下品牌, Everlas 家用和施工用途的铝制阶梯 (ladder)。该品牌在大马已超过30年,在超市和五金店都能找到。除了本地市场,多年以来该品牌也出口至全球各地,比如United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon, Kingdom of Bahrain, Bangladesh, Maldives, Yemen, New Zealand, Singapore 和 Indonesia等地。
作为全马最大的脚手架塔 (scaffold tower)制造商,公司的铝制脚手架塔获得SIRIM认证,在油气业,航空,国际会议中心,仓库,船厂,政府大楼等都有广泛使用。在2018年也获得Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB)的认可,确保产品能提供最高规格的安全标准。 在高空作业平台方面 (Aerial Working Platform Equipment), 公司和法国知名品牌 Haulotte迈入第十年的合作伙伴关系, PMBTECH是该品牌的独家分销商。
2. Construction and Fabrication 从设计,制造,到安装铝幕墙,覆层系统,门面工程,铝系统模板工程等,PMBTECH有自家工程师提供一站式服务。安装铝幕墙不但有美化的效果,而且能节省能源,符合绿色大厦要求。
PMBTECH在2019年已把旗下4家子公司PMB Central Sdn Bhd, PMB Northern Sdn Bhd, PMB Eastern Sdn Bhd, 和PMB Aluminium Sabah Sdn Bhd, 以总值现金RM 44 mil转售予大股东,Press Metal Aluminum Holdings Bhd (PMETAL),目的是要整合公司资源,在未来专注制造硅金属业务。这些子公司原属于制造与贸易 (Manufacturing & Trading),在转售予大股东得来的 RM 44 mil ,其中85%或 RM 37.8 mil 来购买制造硅金属的原材料,碳电极 (Carbon Electrodes) 和低灰煤(Low ash coal)。另外的6.92% (RM 3.07 mil)作为派发股息,6.99% (RM 3.10 mil)作为营运资本,其余的1.09% (RM430K) 作为支付相关费用。
需留意的是公司在2019年完成了拆股(1分为2),加上发放为期5年的不可赎回能转换无抵押债卷股 (ICULS) 并附送公司凭单 (Company Warrant),导致股本提升而稀释了每股盈利,所以在2019财政年公司的每股盈利明显下滑。投资者能在有效期内随时转换ICULS 或该凭单,截至2020年4月20日,公司2019年年报显示投资者的ICULS和warrant持有单位分别还有74.8 million 和38.7 million 依然未转换成母股,也就是说若未来的日子里这些投资者决定转换成母股,这将稀释公司每股盈利。
2. 第二个未来成长引擎- 综合型硅氧烷生产基地 (Siloxane 在2020年11月26日, 公司与Sarawak 州政府机构 (SEDC)签署备忘录(MoU),在Tanjung Kidurong, Bintulu携手探索和经营一家综合型生产基地以供应硅氧烷予本地和国际客户。硅金属和甲醇 (methanol)乃是制造硅氧烷的两个主要原材料,硅金属的供应将由子公司 PMB Silicon Sdn Bhd 负责,至于甲醇则由 Sarawak Petchem Sdn Bhd 负责。Sarawak Petchem Sdn Bhd已经获得Sarawak 州政府的批准,在当地设立一家甲醇供应综合设施。
